Be a bird's best chance at survival

GIVING CHALLENGE 75 Donors Urgently Needed Giving Challenge Deadline: OCTOBER 27TH Give Monthly Dear KAREN, Just last year, the Ivory-billed Woodpecker and 10 other birds were declared extinct—the largest number of extinctions ever announced by the government. In the midst of a global biodiversity crisis, with three billion birds lost in just 50 years and two-thirds of North American bird species at increasing risk of climate extinction, we need to do everything in our power to protect and strengthen the species that remain. We're not willing to let the birds we love go extinct—and we know you won't, either. So please, be one of 75 supporters we're relying on to start a monthly gift today. When you do, thanks to a group of generous donors, you'll help unlock an additional $5,000 in support to help bring at-risk species like the Piping Plover back from the brink.

This code-red crisis requires our immediate attention:

The Piping Plover is endangered in 13 states and nearly gone from the Great Lakes

389 North American bird species are at increasing risk of climate extinction

We've lost 3 billion birds in the span of a single human lifetime

For birds like the Piping Plover, decades of habitat loss and degradation have precipitated a worrying decline. Yet their story also proves that where there is action, there is hope: In recent years, they have returned to nest in several sites they had previously abandoned—and research shows our coastal stewardship is key to this recovery. Where Audubon works—and when you help—birds are better off. But with so much at stake, we can and must do more. Start a monthly gift today while it will help unlock an additional $5,000 to protect birds at risk. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
